Question

EXPLAIN How did energy change form in the calorimeter lab?

Answer 1

As the food burned, chemical energy was transformed into thermal energy. Thus, a form of potential energy was converted to a form of kinetic energy.

Hope I helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Chemical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy while kinetic energy into potential energy.

Explanation:

As the breakdown of food started, the chemical energy present in the food substances converted into thermal energy and mechanical energy. Thermal or heat energy is used to maintain the body's temperature while mechanical energy is used in other activities such as movement of muscles. Kinetic energy is also converted into potential energy when the object moves from top of a place such as hill.
